Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses | NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES A summary of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 follows (in thousands): March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Commercial real estate $ 544,822 $ 559,899 Consumer real estate 248,243 256,097 Construction and land development 141,087 143,111 Commercial and industrial 447,311 394,408 Consumer 27,739 28,426 Other 37,633 38,161 Total 1,446,835 1,420,102 Allowance for loan losses (20,114 ) (12,604 ) $ 1,426,721 $ 1,407,498 The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is assessed at the end of each quarter. The ALL includes a specific component related to loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and a general component related to loans that are segregated into homogenous pools and collectively evaluated for impairment. The ALL factors applied to these pools are an estimate of probable incurred losses based on management’s evaluation of historical net losses from loans with similar characteristics, which are adjusted by management to reflect current events, trends, and conditions. The adjustments include consideration of the following: changes in lending policies and procedures, economic conditions, nature and volume of the portfolio, experience of lending management, volume and severity of past due loans, quality of the loan review system, value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, concentrations, and other external factors. The Company’s evaluation of other external factors included consideration of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic and the resulting impact on the Company’s loan portfolio as of March 31, 2020, which is largely uncertain due to rapidly evolving conditions. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes all commercial loans, and consumer relationships with an outstanding balance greater than $500,000, individually and assigns each loan a risk rating. This analysis is performed on a continual basis by the relationship managers and credit department personnel. On at least an annual basis an independent party performs a formal credit risk review of a sample of the loan portfolio. Among other things, this review assesses the appropriateness of the loan’s risk rating. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention – A special mention asset possesses deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving of management’s attention. If uncorrected, such weaknesses or deficiencies may expose the Company to an increased risk of loss in the future. Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. Doubtful – A doubtful asset has all weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The probability of loss is extremely high, but certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset exist, therefore, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans. Loans not falling into the criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans. The Company utilizes six loan grades within the pass risk rating. The following tables present the loan balances by category as well as risk rating (in thousands): Non-impaired Loans March 31, 2020 Pass Special Mention Substandard Total Non-impaired Total Loans Total Commercial real estate $ 539,282 $ 909 $ 3,264 $ 543,455 $ 1,367 $ 544,822 Consumer real estate 245,617 497 1,133 247,247 996 248,243 Construction and land development 140,954 — 21 140,975 112 141,087 Commercial and industrial 419,247 18,380 6,332 443,959 3,352 447,311 Consumer 27,702 5 13 27,720 19 27,739 Other 37,633 — — 37,633 — 37,633 Total $ 1,410,435 $ 19,791 $ 10,763 $ 1,440,989 $ 5,846 $ 1,446,835 December 31, 2019 Commercial real estate $ 551,929 $ 915 $ 4,438 $ 557,282 $ 2,617 $ 559,899 Consumer real estate 252,952 503 1,551 255,006 1,091 256,097 Construction and land development 142,978 — 16 142,994 117 143,111 Commercial and industrial 370,475 14,341 8,241 393,057 1,351 394,408 Consumer 28,382 6 15 28,403 23 28,426 Other 38,161 — — 38,161 — 38,161 Total $ 1,384,877 $ 15,765 $ 14,261 $ 1,414,903 $ 5,199 $ 1,420,102 None of the Company’s loans had a risk rating of “Doubtful” as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a recorded investment in TDR of $1.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The Company had no specific allowance for those loans at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019 and there were no commitments to lend additional amounts. Loans accounted for as TDR include modifications from original terms such as those due to bankruptcy proceedings, certain modifications of amortization periods or extended suspension of principal payments due to customer financial difficulties. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Bank’s loan policy. Loans accounted for as TDR are individually evaluated for impairment. There were no new TDR identified during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019. There were no TDR for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.
